1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background & Aims: The transfer journey from pediatric to adult care services of young people with rare liver diseases poses significant challenges and is an underexplored research area. This study examined the critical aspects of, and opportunities for, transfer journey management for these young people in Europe. Methods: In total, 72 individuals, representing 13 countries, participated in an omnistakeholder workshop on 17-18 March 2023. A standardized workshop methodology was used to discuss critical aspects and actions over nine focus sessions. The themes of these sessions were identified by engaging with healthcare providers, young people, and parents. Results ( Results: Our findings revealed that the critical aspects of transfer journey management predominantly revolved around the transfer itself. Most of the critical aspects and actions were related to improving communication ( Conclusions: Current literature and guidelines on 'transition' might not fully address real-world challenges in rare liver diseases, particularly those concerning maintaining continuity of care during the actual transfer process. Future research should examine the effectiveness of strategies aimed at enhancing communication and continuity of care throughout the transfer journey, focusing on stakeholder experience. Impact and implications: This international omnistakeholder workshop explored challenges and opportunities in managing transfer journeys for young people with rare liver diseases. By emphasizing practical implications (leading to actions), it provides a benchmark for improving transfer journeys worldwide, applicable to not only rare liver diseases, but possibly also common liver or other rare diseases. Our findings underscore the fundamental importance of the transfer itself in maintaining continuity of care. The critical aspects identified center around informative, relational, and management continuity of care and have been transformed into minimal criteria.
